Thanks for those Links JP....
That arm is a serious piece of work 👁
Good score Shane 👏

@jp
very interesting the brochure, on the internet I had never found anything about it.


@downunder 
the arm collects the best EPA 100 and 500 but I believe it is limited to a narrow range of cartridges.
The TP4 cartridges have never reached the great quality and musicality of the traditional MM and MC cartridges and it is for this reason that it is limiting in choice, that you have supplied is a very good cartridge but
your turntable deserves the best for the cartridges.

I bought the SL1000Mk3 so I could put a Thales Simplicity II and Lyra Atlas on it from my TW table and this should raise the playback level a few notches. This will come in time.

the tonearm was a freebie that I am enjoying, as previously my EPC-P100C-MK4 was residing in an adaptor. The EPC-P100C-MK4 is as good as my Dynavector XV-1s so it is a great cartridge.
There is very little lacking with the sound I am getting so far.


There is one thing that sucks about this table - the turntable dust cover does not open high enough and acoustic transparent it is not, unlike the Exclusive P3 glass dust cover. The cover will stay off most of the time now.

ohh yes yes ..the P100 C mk4 is a great cartridge I know this very well, even your stylus or stylus and cantilever VDH, but you possessed a large cartridges park as many fans have this would be very frustrating not being able to play with everything.

For the dust cover I think there are screws in the hinges to adjust the inclination, try to see if I'm right.
